 Hello! Eco Warriors, fellow ambassadors, mentors and all the members of the tunza family. First of all I want to congratulate everbody for this new Ambassadorship term. I express my greatest gratitude to this ever expanding platform for all the unique, creative and beautiful opportunities it offers. I apologize for such late reports, actually my final board exams are going on. Denims are a big part of our wardrobe. Whether in the form of a cool jacket or a toned fit pair of jeans. But Ever thought about the life cycle of a denim pair. From cotton cultivation to the point the consumer gets rid of it, is either depleting natural resources, or polluting the environment,¡± says Dr Simi Sugathan, founder, Safety Monitor Research Foundation, Bengaluru. A single pair of denim takes 10,000 litres of water. Do you know? 20 percent of water pollution of the world is associated with production of clothes. All the chemicals used as dyes eventually get released to oceans. If released without processing for safety it results in brutal death water creatures. The good news is that you can continue to buy jeans, just make sure you read the label. In September last year, Numero Uno launched a new collection called One Glass Water Denims, for which they collaborated with Spanish washing and technology experts Jeanologia, to use laser technology and Ozone treatments, instead of bleaches and other chemicals, for finishing processes. In the bargain, water consumption has also been brought down to just one glass per pair of jeans. So, when next time you need to buy some pants make a wise choice. What else can we oo? Creativity and initiative can go a long way when brought to the subject of environment protection. Before throwing anything just because it's old please consider: Reuse, reduce and recycle. This is something we come across everyday. We can use internet for this, to get ideas for reusing and recycling things so easily. There are thousands of websites and youtube channels you can go for. I am sharing one such to you today. Last year, I created a denim bagpack from my old, torn pair of denim. My mom was about to throw it but I don't wanted it to last as a land fill. I found a diy video on Youtube of transforming a pair of denim into a super cool bagpack. I am attaching the link of the video and picture of the bagpack I made.
